By mid-July it is likely the “I’m bored” whines have come into a full swing. Children lacking school hours and structure are sitting at home, bored with friends, video games, reading … even the chore list is getting thin.

A Lego Club will meet again on Thursday, July 31 at 4 p.m. A Craft Club for Girls resumes on Sept. 2 at 4 p.m.

On Tuesday, July 29 at 6:30 p.m., young-adult author David Lubar will be at the library for a discussion. Come Aug. 6, The Wizard of Oz will be show at 6:30 p.m. On Wednesday, Aug. 13, at both 3:30 and 4 p.m., Mind Math will be held.

Additionally, the library is sponsoring a summer reading club through Aug. 8. Children ages 0 to 17 can participate. By logging into the website here, parents can help children track hours spent reading. For each two hours, children can stop into the library for a prize.

No matter the date, there is plenty for the kids to do at the library. For more information on programs, click the LPCL’s Children page here or call 610-666-6640.
